Patch problem

I put the nicotine patch on 3 hours ago and now find it is lifting. It is wet underneath. Any advice as to how I can combat this and why it is happening?

Go to drug store and speak with the pharmacist to get some
surgical grade tape that you can use on the borders of your patch. Good luck.

I saw my Chemist and they gave me some surgical wipes to clean the skin before the patch. Today all good. I also have tape to put over the patch to hold it on.
Yes I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2016 and after my operation I was lucky as they caught it early. I go for my second year of tests this coming June. I am 8 hours away from my daughter and in Sept 2016 she had a major breakdown and I broke and started smoking again. This time it is not only for my health but I can't afford the money for this habit and once I added up what I spent I realized I have better things to do with the money.
Thank you both for your comments.
